> I don't think anyone has done as much damage to the climate as environmentalists, by opposing nuclear power.

I think suburban homeowners and their organized interests have had much more to do with nuclear power. I am an "environmentalist" and am largely pro-nuclear power (although less than before due to increasing cost competitiveness of renewables).

Actual environmentalists (ie. people who are passionate about saving the environment and also analytical thinkers) like Stewart Brand have been on top of this for a while.
